250 Gt Boano / Ellena

I have been searching for info on this series of 250 Gt's and it has amazed me how little info there is commonly available about these cars.

When new, these were great cars, now they have regained respect after years of falling out of the lime light.

Is it possible for everyone to post any pictures they have of either Boano's or Ellena's with serial numbers (if known) in either vintage or modern era's?

I have only found a small number of current era pictures, but am ABSOULTELY amazed at how few vintage era pictures there seem to be......

 

This is, based on the Fantasy Junction site, 0641 GT or 0641GT

I would like this thread to become a GREAT refernece thread....

In order to do that, The photo AND s/n needs to be mentioned so we can see the differences ..... It seems all models have subtle differences....

Whether Boano or Ellena, the 250 GT that was made by both builders seems way to ignored here....

Oddly, I figured the Boano name was more respected in Ferrari/Itailian terms.... From google searching, I realized, that Boano was a Ghia Guy and the Ellena family fronted the money for him to do his own thing once Ghia died (at least this is commonly refferenced in Fiat/Alfa searches). This is the reason why the name came back to Ellena, versus the father-in-law (Boano) "gifting" the business to his son-in-law, Ellena.

At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter. I am amazed at the lack of photo's of cars both in current era and vintage era.

Where are they now and where have they been?

 

What is the Scuderia Prancing Teddy s/n?

 

For this thread to strive and continue, we will all have to contribute what we can...

After searching for a great period, I would have to say that I have found pics of "Identifiable" cars at about a rate of 5-10 verifiable s/n's pf commonly available pictures.


I know we know more than that and even F-Chat doesn't have a database that pulls on this search criteria....

If you don't have a s/n but have a location of photo, please post....

Common era photo's are appreciated, but please give as much info as possible...

If you happen to have ANY vintage photo's......Please post them regardless of what they are or where they are.......


And for this matter, anything you have, both interior an exterior.....

Interior photo's seem to be even more rare.....





I know it is simple, but ALL these cars make up what we enjoy today.......
